We divide 587240 by 54
Our goal is to divide 587240 by 54.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 54

Step 2:
54 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 54 from 58 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 54

Let's proceed to step 3:
54 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 472 / 54

Advancing to step 4:
472 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we subtract 432 from 472, we get 40.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 404 / 54

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 404 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1087.0
If we take 378 away from 404, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 54

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 260 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10874.0
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
54 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10874.8
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10874.81
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 54 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 54 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10874.814
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 216 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
54 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10874.8148
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 54 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10874.81481
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 54 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 54 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10874.814814
Subtract 216 from 260 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
440 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10874.8148148
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 54, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10874.81481481
Deduct 54 from 80 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10874.81481481 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
